OSMICE

Društvo EVS prostovoljcev Slovenije vabi 11. decembra ob 18. uri na osmico v Gradišču pri Vipavi. Osmice so starodavna slovenska tradicija, kjer se prodaja doma pridelane izdelke in neustekleničenega vina z geografskim poreklom. Ob dobri jedači in pijači se bomo bivši, sedanji in bodoči EVS prostovoljci zabavali, širili krog prijateljstev, hkrati pa spoznavali bogato slovensko dediščino, ki v današnjem času dobiva sodobnejšo obliko.

Za prevoz bo poskrbljeno, odhod bo ob 15. uri iz Kongresnega trga v Ljubljani v smeri proti Krasu. Obiskali bomo slikovito kraško vasico Štanjel, se ustavili v Pliskovici, nazadnje pa bomo ob 18. uri prispeli na težko pričakovano osmico.

Prijave zbiramo na evsvsi@gmail.com do Miklavževega večera, 5. decembra.

Pohiti in se nam pridruži, kajti število mest je omejeno!

Za več informacij je na voljo Doroteja: 040 467 813.

Nekaj malega o zgodovini osmice:
Pravica osmice izvira iz časov nemškega cesarja Karla Velikega (16. stoletje). Ta pravica se je ohranila še kasneje v času vladavine cesarice Marije Terezije in avstrijskega cesarja Jožefa II. Leta 1784 pa je bil izdan dekret, ki je vinogradnikom dovoljeval osem dnevni rok za točenje vina. Po tem dekretu je lahko kmet oziroma vinogradnik prodajal vinske presežke iz preteklega leta v tako imenovanem vinotoču pod vejo. Vinotoč, v katerem je kmet prodajal svoje vino brez davka osem dni v letu, je dobil ime OSMICA. Da bi označili, da poteka osmica so uporabili šop bršljana, imenovan »fraska«, ki usmerja in vabi na osmico.

A brief history of Osmica
The right for Osmica originates from the times of German emperor Karl the Great in the 16^th century. It was preserved to the time of Austro-Hungarian empress Maria Theresa and Josef II. A decree was passed in 1784 that allowed the winegrowers to sell wine tax-free, which was left from the previous year in a “vinotoč pod vejo”. Vinotoč where the winegrower sold his wine for 8 days was called OSMICA. To mark the place, where the wine was sold they hung ivy called “fraska” to invite to the Osmica.
